Abstract
A safety device for a blender has a press movably mounted on top of the handle and having two first extensions selectively extending into the two holes in the handle and a sliding block selectively engaged by the two first extensions and movably received in the handle. The sliding block has two second extensions formed on a bottom of the sliding block to correspond to two holes in the base of the blender. The movement of the press forces the sliding block to move accordingly, such that movement of the two second extensions forces a first contacting plate which is connected to a motor to engage with a second contacting plate which is connected to a power source to complete a circuit of the blender so that the motor is able to drive the blade to rotate.
Claims4
A safety device for a blender having a base, a cup detachably connected to the base and having a hollow handle integrally formed on a side of the cup and a cover detachably connected to the cup, the safety comprising:
- a switch adapted to be received in the base;
- two first holes defined in a top face of the base;
- two second holes adapted to be defined in a top face of the hollow handle to communicate with an inside of the hollow handle, two third holes adapted to be defined in a bottom face of the hollow handle, a first stop adapted to be formed on an inner periphery of the hollow handle, a sliding block adapted to be movably received inside the hollow handle, an elongated through hole longitudinally defined in the sliding block to correspond to the first stop, a second stop formed on an inner face of the sliding block, a first spring connected between the first stop and the second stop to provide a recoil force to the sliding block and two extensions respectively formed on a bottom of the sliding block to selectively extend out from the two third holes to correspond to the two first holes so as to engage with and press a first contacting plate which is adapted to connect to a power source;
- a post adapted to be formed on a side of the cover, two channels respectively defined in the post and a press provided on top of the post and having two second extensions received in the two channels and selectively extending downward to correspond to the two second holes of the hollow handle, whereby extension of the two second extensions is able to force the sliding block to move downward to the base and into the first holes to force the first contacting plate to engage with a second contacting plate which is adapted to connect to a motor to complete an electrical circuit of the blender so that the motor is able to drive a blade to rotate.
